Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1887-10-09

The weather yesterday was tue
best OF the week. The cold wave
OF Friday lad passed and left a
balmy Fall day, with no wind and
a cloudless sky,
THE STOCK PARADE
Was the first thing on the pre-
gramrne and the animals were led
forth with the blue and red ribbons
tied on their horns. A. d. Tread
way, Hank Martin and George
Gates were the Stock Committee
and as the animals were led along
the track the crowd generally
agreed that the awards had been
fairly made and that the Committee
had coHscientiously discharged its
duties. Stanford's Nolsteins were
not in the parade as they were
obliged to leave on the morning
freight train.
THE LADIES' TOURNAMENT.
The free for all tournament for
ladies' riding was next IN order and
| the crowd had an hour of entertain
ment watching the hurdle jumping.
The hurdle riding however did not
count in judging for premiums as
the award was made before the
hurdles were placed. The first to
take the hurdle was Miss Winters.
Her trained horse came flying down
the home stretch and when appar-
emily about to strike rose almost
straight in the air and cleared 1t
by at least two feet. AS the figure
of the horse and rider was poised
in the air it was perfect picture of
riding grace, and a cheer broke
from the Grand Stand followed by
a wild clapping of hands. Miss
Winters, as the hurdle was be-
ing cleared, sat her horse as inn
passive and calm as a rock.
Miss Mcintosh next tried the
hurdles. Her horse did not rise so
high as her rivals but took much
| pnger leaps and she also got round
after round of applause. One of
her horses leaps cleared % feet
and when she was practicing at the
track in the morning she cleared
the hurdle sitting in the saddle with
both hands behind her back. She
is a wonder at the hurdle. Miss
Winters received the blue ribbon
for riding and was squarely entitled
to it.
THE POSTPONED RACE
Was the first to come up. Johnny
Golong pressed his rival and took
the first heat in 2 :52T, but Jack
proved too lively and won the race.
AN ACCIDENT.
In order 20 rush the last pro-
gramme through in good shape, the
running and pacing races were
sandwiched in between. Rock,
Sadie and Kitty were matched for
the running race. The three horses
were punched most of the way and
the race was very close. Just as
they reached the turn however, the
rider of Kitty reeled in his saddle
and at once went out of sight. His
horse was between The other two,
the three neck and neck.
The saddle turned under him,
and he hung for few lengths with
his foot over the horses neck, and
swinging by his hands. When his
head struck the ground he let go,
and was tumbled in among the fly
ing feet of the racers. After they
passed over him he lay senseless,
and there was a cry that he had
been killed. His horse kept on,
coming in second. Sadie won.
There was great excitement in the
Stand. especially among the ladies.
Someone reached the jockey and
dashed water in his face. He
picked up little, when the owner
of the horse took the boy in his
arms anu carried him to a stall. In
about half an hour he was all right.
He claimed that the saddle had not
been cinched tightly enough.
THE PACING RACE.
